I'm gonna guess that the rider bone movements are now handled by the graphics card rather than the CPU

I'm not home now. But is it significantly noticeable? And yes, it should increase the framerate

I did some Benchmarks:
Computer : Core2duo@3.8ghz Nvidia GTX260
40 players on southwick
OLD .exe :
Without nvidia tweaks(in control panel) :
50 FPS average
With tweaks :
109 FPS average
NEW .exe :
Without nvidia tweaks(in control panel) :
50 FPS average
With tweaks :
111 FPS average
So, no difference for me
Later

Are you sure you had shaders enabled? It should be about 10% just in CPU time saved. It should also save time in the OpenGL driver since it doesn't need to transfer the vertices over the video bus anymore.
